Winbond pushes DDR4 adoption by raising DDR3 prices

Winbond, a memory manufacturer, has announced a price increase for DDR3, bringing them to the same level as DDR4. The decision, reported by DIGITIMES, aims to encourage the transition to DDR4 memory, considered the latest and most performing standard.

This price repositioning could have a significant impact on the market, prompting device manufacturers and consumers to more carefully evaluate the adoption of DDR4 in new systems. The increase in DDR3 costs makes DDR4 a more competitive option, effectively accelerating their spread.
